Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1106

The "broken carriage" headed north and exited Di'anmen, and sure enough, there was a more luxurious carriage to transfer to. However, what Princess Yongning didn't notice was that neither of the two carriages that picked her up today had Jinghua's "Book and Sword" logo, and even There is no triangular flag with the word "Gaofu" on it.

The handlebars were not nonsense, and the new carriage was much better than the previous one. At least there must be a "spring shock absorber" under the carriage, which is regarded as Jinghua's unique skill, and the decoration inside the carriage is by no means ordinary.

Not to mention the other things in the car, just say that as long as it is within reach, it is covered with the top-grade carved velvet in bright red and positive colors, which is up to this level.

Zhangrong is also commonly known as velvet in later generations - this thing originated in Zhangzhou, Fujian, and is now very famous.

Not only Zhang Rong was used in this carriage, but the Zhang Rong also used the latest carving and weaving technology.

Wei Min looked at it in surprise, then turned to Princess Yongning and said, "Your Highness, it's no wonder people say that high school is the richest man in the world, not to mention covering the car with velvet, look at this velvet, there is actually a phoenix opera The carved patterns of peonies and five blessings holding longevity are not found in the palace, this servant girl is really eye-opening!"

Princess Yongning's thoughts were obviously not above these, she dealt with it casually, and she didn't even say anything herself.

Wei Min didn't care, looked around again, and said in surprise again: "Ah, Your Highness, look at our feet, this carpet seems to be the kind from Dashi. I saw a piece in Tianjinfang before, and it was only half a piece. The size of the bed costs more than 700 taels of silver, which is as expensive as gold silk!
Now the piece under our feet seems to be a bit bigger than that one. Doesn't it cost thousands of taels of silver?Tsk tsk... Sigh, blame the rules of our Ming Dynasty, otherwise, if you can lower the high school prime minister, you really don't even have to give up the emperor's gift of land. "

"Stop talking nonsense!" Princess Yongning finally reacted and gave her a slight look, but immediately returned to the restless and tense state.

Probably because Her Highness the Princess is usually easy to talk to, Wei Min was not too scared, but persuaded her: "Your Highness, Senior High School Prime Minister is not a tiger, why are you so nervous? Don't worry, when you arrive at Baiyu Tower later, you can find an excuse to take your servant Send them away with the others, and then tear open the oily paper bag in the sachet... You say that the senior high school will listen to you, so what are you afraid of?"

After hearing this, Princess Yongning seemed to have made up her mind, but unexpectedly, she took off the brocade sachet from her waist and said, "I still don't think this should be taken... I, I don't need him to listen to me. "As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed the sachet to Wei Min.

Wei Min was stunned for a moment, then quickly stuffed it back into Princess Yongning's hand, and persuaded: "Your Highness, whether you need it or not depends on your wishes, but it's not a problem to carry it with you, just take it as a precaution. Well, don’t you think so?”

in case?

Princess Yongning hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was some truth.She thought to herself: What happened yesterday, I don't know if he blames me in his heart, if he is really unhappy, I will open the sachet then, maybe he won't be angry with me.

Thinking of it this way, the defenses loosened, and Princess Yongning hesitated to hang the sachet on her waist again.

Wei Min breathed a sigh of relief, fearing to irritate the nervous princess again, he simply changed the subject and said, "I don't know what happened to the prime minister of high school, the top six champions, but he actually fell in love with a female chieftain from a barbaric alien race." ..."

"Shut up!" Princess Yongning interrupted her, with a sullen look on her face: "Don't talk about Senior High School Cheng, even Huang Dutong is not someone you can criticize."

Wei Min pouted quietly, but still said: "Yes, Your Highness."

Princess Yongning saw that she was no longer talking too much, and her annoyance faded away, but she sighed lightly: "Huang Dutong is beautiful and beautiful, I have seen it before, it is indeed... a good match for the prime minister in high school."

Wei Min curled his lips again, but just opened his mouth a little, then quickly closed it again, turning his face slightly away with a look of disdain.

Seeing this, Princess Yongning frowned and said: "You were there that day, don't you think so?"

Wei Min raised her eyebrows slightly: "She looks pretty good, but is she a good match... The slaves don't think so. What is the status of the high school prime minister, what is her status, how can she be a good match? There is a saying that marrying a wife and a virtuous person, taking concubines and sex , even if she is good-looking, being a concubine to Senior High School Cheng will be a blessing in eight lifetimes."

Princess Yongning snorted softly: "Hey, Huang Dutong came from a distinguished family for hundreds of years. If she is not worthy, then you are worthy?"

"Naturally, slaves are not worthy." Wei Min shook his head and said, "But you are different, Your Highness. You are the golden branch and jade leaf. If you say that someone like Gao Gaocheng is the dragon and phoenix, slaves can only look at you as worthy."

Princess Yongning turned her face away and lowered her eyelids: "Me? I am a princess and a widow. Whoever deserves him in this world will not be my turn."

What he said was extremely depressing.

After hearing this, Wei Min seemed very upset, and said, "Slaves feel outrageous when talking about this matter. How could there be such a rule in Hongwu years ago? Empress Renxiao was born in the Xu family when she became the ancestor. Isn't she an empress of the ages?" Not to mention the Xu family, a family of two countries, even now, they are all noble foremen from the north and the south..."

"You gave the wrong example. I am a princess. Why don't you give the example of Princess Lin'an?"

Princess Lin'an, the eldest daughter of Taizu, married Li Qi, the son of Li Shanchang, the Duke of Korea.In the 23rd year of Hongwu, when Li Shanchang was imprisoned by the barbarians because of the Hu Weiyong case, Li Qi was spared death because of his status as a son-in-law.But if they were saved from death, the couple and their children were all exiled to Jiangpu, and they failed to return to Beijing until they died of illness in the first year of Yongle.And Princess Lin'an was also implicated, until Yongle died of illness in 19 years.

But even if Princess Yongning said so, Wei Min still refused to accept it, saying: "The nobles are arrogant, and there were many major treason cases during the Hongwu period. A minister of the emperor's arm, if he can win the princess' surrender, he will naturally be more loyal to the court."

Princess Yongning shook her head and said: "Since you are the emperor's brother, you can't be a princess."

"But it's not that the son-in-law of the Hongwu Dynasty can't be an official..."

"All right, all right, don't mention these useless things." Princess Yongning sighed: "Fate is life, and you can't ask for it. How many women in the world want to be princesses, but they can't ask for it; I just want to be an ordinary woman, and I can't ask for it." I can't ask for the same."

Seeing this, Wei Min also sighed, but after a while, he said again: "Although there are times in life that must be there, and there is always time in life, don't force it, but Your Highness, your current situation is still very special, and it is not without the slightest Transfer."

Princess Yongning frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

Wei Min said in a low voice: "The Empress has always been respectful and respectful. If it wasn't for the emperor's confession, she would not dare to give you the palace forbidden phoenix card at will, so that you can leave the palace freely. Your Highness shouldn't doubt this, right?"

Princess Yongning did not speak.

If you don't say anything, you will acquiesce, so Wei Min continued: "Since it is the emperor's intention, then the emperor bestowed the forbidden phoenix card, is it really just for the convenience of His Royal Highness to go out of the palace? Excuse me, if it is just for the convenience of His Highness's outing, the emperor It’s enough for the master to issue an oral order directly, so why beat around the bush like this?”

Princess Yongning still didn't speak, but her hands clasped on her legs couldn't help clasping each other with a little force.

Wei Min sighed, and said with a wry smile: "The emperor just needs to say it clearly. Even a dull person like a slave can see it. Does Your Highness still pretend not to know?"

Princess Yongning's cheeks had already been filled with clouds since when, after hearing this, she said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Brother Huang just messed around, how can I be so shameless? Besides, Senior High School Prime Minister is a gentleman ..."

Wei Min shook his head and said: "Your Highness's words, slaves and servants really don't agree. Liang Bangrui said he is a son-in-law, but in fact his family is full of people who deceive the emperor. If others don't know, how can His Highness not know? If he is a serious choice The son-in-law died unfortunately at that time, so it’s okay for His Highness to say that he should observe Women’s Day. But for such a bully, it’s already a kindness of the emperor not to execute him Ling Chi, why should His Highness Still want to keep festivals for him? He can't be regarded as His Royal Highness's son-in-law at all!"

Princess Yongning was silent for a while, then shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter how I see it, what matters is how people in the world see it. As the eldest princess, I have been well-clothed and well-fed since I was a child, no matter whether this is my original wish or not. But since I have suffered, When I have something to give, I should always set an example for women in the world."

Wei Min was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Slavery and shallow people, I just think this is too inhuman."

Princess Yongning forced a smile: "Human favor? Sometimes the Tian family can't talk about these things..."

"That's not entirely true, Your Highness. If it is said that the Tian family is not humane, how should the emperor explain this?"

Princess Yongning was speechless for a moment, and she shook her head slightly after a long while: "I know that the emperor's intentions are good, but I dare not accept it. Besides, this kind of thing can't be forced, I can't be so shameless, go..." Speaking of this, She blushed again.

"Your Highness just has too many worries. How do you know that Senior High School Cheng also thinks the same way, that's why you are puzzled?"

These words were so blatant that Princess Yongning's neck turned red: "Stop talking!"

But although she didn't allow Wei Min to say anything more, her heart was pounding wildly, and an uncontrollable thought came out of her mind and kept circling: It's really just because of his status that he always treats me well. what?If I wasn't a princess, would he also... like me a little bit?

She thought about it, and when she thought of Huang Zhiting, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and said to herself: But that girl Huang is really beautiful. He should be stronger than her in this regard, right?

Princess Yongning's mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what she was thinking, let alone how long the time had passed. In short, she didn't let go until the carriage stopped and the handlebars were outside respectfully asking her to get off. With these thoughts, I tidied up my appearance and got out of the car.

The outside of the car was no longer what it looked like inside the city. What appeared in front of her was a wall nearly two feet high. The door in the middle was very unique. It was not made of wood with copper nails and copper skin. It looked like two doors made of refined iron. iron gate.

This place must be the most famous other courtyard in the capital in recent years, see Xinzhai Baiyulou.

Princess Yongning was about to ask Wei Min to call the door, but at this moment the door opened slowly, Gao Wushi was wearing a Taoist robe of Yanju, standing behind the door and smiling at her, Shi Shiran walked forward.

"Miss Zhu is honored to come here, the humble house is really luxuriant, and Wushi can't help but be overjoyed." Gao Wushi bowed his hands, and then stretched out his hand to make a false quotation: "Please come inside, Miss."

Princess Yongning was a little dazed at first, and then she came to understand: He deliberately called me Miss Zhu, could it be to remind me that today is just a private meeting, regardless of status?No, identity is identity, how can it really matter?What he meant by saying this should be deliberately pretending not to know my identity...

Princess Yongning suddenly looked forward to it, and thought to herself: If he really can stop treating me as a princess, what will he do to me?

It's just that, after being a princess for so many years, she didn't know how to answer this sentence when she was "not a princess". After a moment of hesitation, she stammered and said, "I'm taking the liberty to visit and disturb Senior High School."

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "There is no high school prime minister here. If you don't mind being vulgar, you can call me Gao Wushi."

Is it really regardless of identity?

Princess Yongning was suddenly a little excited, like a canary out of a cage, her eyes had a look that she didn't usually have, and she smiled sweetly: "I dare not call Gao Longwen like that, then... how about I dare to call you Mr. Gao?"

When "Master Gao" was mentioned, she seemed to recall the old things a long time ago, her mood brightened a lot, and her smile became even more angry.

Gao Wushi laughed: "So, so, the girl can be called whatever she wants. However, although the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, after all, there is still a little chill in the wind, let's go in and chat slowly. What do you think?"

"Young Master Lao Gao will lead the way." The smile on Princess Yongning's face was already like spring flowers blooming.

Gao Wushi completely ignored Wei Min who was beside her, and led her into the gate.

Behind the iron gate is another scene.As Wei Min introduced to her yesterday, the courtyard near Baiyu Hall is completely different from Daming's style. There is no delicate rockery screen wall here, and there are no plum branches and peach blossoms slanting sideways.Princess Yongning's first impression of this courtyard is that it is "big and neat".

Big refers to openness, and whole refers to neatness.The wide green lawn here is probably not as big as the square outside the Zhongji Hall, and the roadside jungle is also neatly built, about half a foot wide, half a person high, and two straight lines.

And in the middle of this huge lawn is a small rectangular artificial lake, which is not at all as natural as the small ponds in Chinese gardens, with irregular shapes.

The artificial small lake was dug straight and neatly, as if he didn't mind that the water should play a "moving" role in the courtyard, but deliberately made it so regular.

However, it is not true if we ignore the artistic conception of "movement".In the middle of the artificial lake, there is an extremely complicated and exquisite fountain.This fountain is actually divided into several floors. The lower three floors are just like steps, with water stored inside, and because of the fountain, a circular waterfall flows out all the time.

There are also three layers on the top, all carved into disc shapes, and water gushes out from each layer, not only there are circular waterfalls, but also shoots in all directions, forming radiant colors under the sunlight, almost rainbow.And it seems that there are very three-dimensional human figures carved on the three-story disc stone carvings, but it's not very clear at the moment.

"It's really beautiful!" Princess Yongning's mood brightened all of a sudden, and she asked, "But how did the spring water come out?"

Gao Wushi smiled and went to a tall tower not far away, and said: "That tower looks like a pagoda, but it is actually a water tower with a large amount of water stored on it. The tower is connected to the fountain, and the fountain sprays water through the siphon principle... Miss If you are interested, how about explaining slowly later?"

"What about now?" Princess Yongning asked with a smile.
